luxury

not having suicidal thoughts is the norm for most people.

but for me, it's a luxury.

a luxury that astounds me whenever i get the privilege to enjoy it.

a luxury that i have to be grateful for.

a luxury i thank god for.

but for most people, it's the norm.

Paying Penance to Residual Worth

Isn't there more time? We began to spread apart the darkness, and, for whatever reason, it left us silenced in a hopeless trance of messiness distanced from nocturnal remembrance, those odd reverberating dreams, scuttled to the core - we make out with less than we did bringing solace along with our pride, a price to pay nothing ever came for free and a delusion we doubled down on made sense (at the time) Once was never enough to prime the value of our circuitry, certainly the choice was mine all along, alone to face the fractured cold of eternity. Lifting out the bones from the fragile grave, this will be the last time I'll say goodbye.

The Bumblebee

On a tearful afternoon in May, I came across a bumblebee; He looked at me as if to say, "Who blocks this path in front of me?"

I begged his pardon & replied, "I'm having quite a troubled day, For my beloved grandmother died This morning after some delay."

This left my newfound friend abuzz, & in response, he zipped away. Beneath my tears, I questioned, "Does He understand the twisted play

Between the gods & mortal men?" As I let out a desperate sigh, I turned & saw before me then The bumblebee drift gently by.

He circled 'round a daisy head & perched atop a petal white, Looked up at me & plainly said, "In life rejoice & death delight."

His guidance left my mouth agape, & as I sought to question why, He spoke again, "Don't doubt the Fates, For neither life nor death rely

On the designs of human minds; All cycles must begin & end. Though mortal men like you are blind, At life's end you'll give in, my friend,

For if you spend it asking 'why?' You'll miss its very essence, & only once it's passed you by Will you understand its lessons."

With that, my friend took to the air & danced amongst the budding trees, As I dreamt up this poem to share The wisdom of the buzzing bees.

And The Galaxies In Between

I’d give you the stars,

I’d give you the moon,

I’d give you the sun,

And the heavens too.

I’d give you my everything,

Anything at all,

But you melted my wings,

But you melted my wings before I could fly.

My mother believes herself to have ownership of her anger.

She does not care to see her wrath simmer in my eyes when she tells me something that upsets me.

She does not care to see her rage bubble in my veins when someone hurts me.

She does not care to see her fury so plainly displayed on my features.

She does not care to see her anger mirrored in me.

Mouse

There was a mouse.

On the bedroom floor.

And I let out a smothered curse

As we managed to capture it under a mixing bowl and slid a piece of cardboard under it

And I had to take it outside

Because one was afraid and the other going back to bed.

So I was told to throw it

Bowl and all

Into the neighbor’s yard, assured their dogs would eat it.

I didn’t find this comforting.

Nothing I can control deserves to die afraid.

And I was relieved when told to throw it by the shed instead.

“Yes, there’s rat poison in there. He’ll go in to get warm.”

I knew the mouse had to leave.

They carry disease and I need to keep everyone safe, so I felt comfort in knowing I wouldn’t be responsible for the death of a creature who did no harm.

And then I felt guilt.

I put on my shoes.

I played calm. I carried the bowl across the yard and gently knelt to release the cardboard.

The mouse pittered out across the snow, leaving it unbroken though it filled my shoes.

Don’t I have a responsibility to those smaller than me?

He must be cold. I don’t like being cold.

A tear trickled down my face before I whisked it off. Who cries over a mouse?

I did.

I sobbed when I had time because he was just a mouse but life is precious and it means everything to me.

Good bye mouse.

Please find heaven so I can sob my apologies there, where neither of us can hurt anyone anymore.

“Viaje Audaz: El Arte de Crear”

Crear, un viaje audaz, un desafío, que nos invita a explorar, sin temor, nuestro universo interior y exterior, a conectar con la esencia que somos, con la pasión que arde en nuestro pecho, a expresar lo que sentimos, lo que soñamos.

Crear, un acto que requiere de soledad, un silencio que permite desnudar el alma, y de introspección, un espejo para desbordar el corazón. Pero también de compañía, un faro en el camino, y de interacción, un crisol para enriquecer la visión.

Así, en el lienzo de la vida, trazamos nuestro ser, en cada pincelada, en cada palabra, en cada nota, en la danza de la creación, en el canto de la inspiración.

it died

"please keep your dream alive!"

is what they say.

but what if i don't have a dream? or i had one before, but now not anymore?

it died, along with my hope and will to fight, and now i'm stuck in this plight.

now, i'm just on autopilot struggling in private.

going through the motions, drifting along aimlessly through this world.

Misshapen Reflections

Formulas fold, fractures of the familiar.

Interests of mind, time has scarred and bizarrely taken steps, retraced -

Displaced in the shiver of distress the ancient wounds revealed truths can't touch,

And not that there's really much more to say, but I'd like to be guiltless again

(if that's okay)

Invocation

Calliope, beloved muse, Upon my heartstrings play! They've never been so underused — I bid you, pluck away!

Bequeath unto thy servant dear Another masterpiece! The tide is out, the surface clear, The pains of past released!

Stardust

All stars cried and the sight that flashed before me,

Despite all its light, remained blurred,

Hidden by a cruel haze.

All stars aligned and the sight that burned my eyes,

Remained curved, longing for stillness,

Ethereal spirals of terror.

Eyes of my own stare deep into the spiral's own,

Suddenly curves shone deep with meaning.

Each lettered curve, a burning vessel of hope.

It is these shining spheres of light

That taint sorrowful skies a joyous azure.

Laced through each curve is a golden flicker of life,

Bared teeth stained a harsh ivory.

The stars and moon sit pouting as they shine,

For they will never shine as bright,

As a pulled back smile,

Or a raucous laugh that encompasses all joy.

And suddenly, the curve of stardust became my whole world.

One day, one rhyme- Day 3334

I had a perfect day today.

I went down to where the reeds sway,

Watched corellas dance in the sky

And chaotic cockatoos fly;

Met a wallaby on a hike

(Who left far sooner than I’d like),

Saw silver fish in billabongs,

Where gumtrees sway like in the songs,

And met a most beautiful swan

Then headed off with the light gone.

After so many perfect things,

I wonder what tomorrow brings.
